Preferred Blacklists?

[Julian Field]

FWIW I use ORDB, Infinite-Monkeys, spamcop.net and MAPS-RBL+.

Don't use too many as you will just stop accepting mail from anyone :-)

Oh, if you fancy a laugh, have you heard of MessageLabs (they flog an
extremely expensive email virus scanning "managed service")? Well their
servers got put in spamcop.net yesterday, so loads of companies lost all
their outgoing email down the toilet.

I can never quite believe it, but MessageLabs charge $10 per user per *month*.
